Pecan Butter Ball Cookies in a Holiday Tin in a Green Holiday Tin

For our family it’s not Christmas without Pecan Butter Balls and an assortment of other wonderful cookies. These shortbread cookies filled with pecans and dusted with powdered sugar are my all time favorite!

Pecan Butter Ball Cookies - A shortbread cookie filled with pecans and dusted with powdered sugar.

I first posted about these Pecan Butter Ball Cookies several years ago; back when my dog was my most loyal reader. Since today is National Cookie Day I thought it perfect to offer them again along with other holiday favorites. I love these cookies and so does everyone I make them for so timing was perfect to share them with more than just Abbie!

Grandma's House

My first memory of these cookies was at my Grandma and Grandpa Bathe’s house and I have had a plate of them every year that I can remember. My memories of making these with her in this charming cottage in South St. Louis are some of my most cherished memories.

I continued the tradition of baking them for my family when I was a teenager and have made them with my children and for holiday gifts for friends every year since.

No matter how busy the holiday season, not one has gone by that this cookie isn’t at the top of the list. Closing for my house is creeping closer to Christmas Day; I promised my inner child that at the very least these will be made in my new kitchen; it would be a perfect thing. Me, memories of my beloved Grandma and these cookies. The tradition WILL NOT die!

The ingredients are simple but using the best is important and for me that means good vanilla and butter. I admit that at one time in my young life I wasn’t so crazy about vanilla. How could that be you ask?

Well, you know how good it smells when you open that bottle of real vanilla extract? I decided to sneak a sip when Grandma wasn’t looking and let’s just say, the magic happens somewhere in between the mixing and the baking because drinking it straight did not exactly give me the rewards I was looking for!

Luckily I’ve moved beyond that experience and always have a supply of vanilla extract, vanilla beans and my new favorite, vanilla paste, on hand (yum, vanilla sugar).

chopped pecans

Though there are versions I’ve seen and tasted called Mexican Wedding Cookies and Russian Tea Cakes, all include some slight variation on ingredients. My grandmother was neither Mexican or Russian so it’s a great  example of how recipe traditions spread all over the world.

Pecan Butter Balls are more typical of the name associated with this buttery, nutty cookie from the Northern European part of the world; my grandmother was German and Swiss so it figures that this would be her recipe. I’ve seriously had none better than these. Maybe it’s my memories that make them my favorite. I will always think of that wonderful sweet woman I was lucky to call my Grandma Lizette!

These are some of my very favorite cookies but I’ll be lucky if I get any of them made this year. I’m supposed to close on my new home on 12/17 but sounds like they might push it to 12/20 (turns out it was 12/31!). Well, they promised before Christmas and I’m still hoping for that. Still, Grandma’s Pecan Butter Ball cookies will be made even if I have to stop Santa on his journey and ask him to help!

Still; with all of these assorted cookies it’s still these I have to have. I know they’re a tradition for many; maybe it’s time to make them yours too? Here’s wishing you and yours the merriest of holidays!

Pecan Butter Ball Cookies

Pecan Butter Ball Cookies

A nutty and not overly sweet cookie that is traditional over the holidays.

Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 1 C butter
  • 4 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 2 C flour
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups pecans (I actually like to toast my pecans briefly before chopping them, but some prefer the cookies make with raw pecans...your choice!)
  • Confectioner's sugar

Instructions

  1. Finely chop pecans. I use my food processor but if you don't have one and are doing by hand, they do need to be finely chopped.
  2. Cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla and mix til thoroughly combined.
  3. Add flour and salt and mix thoroughly.
  4. Add nuts incorporate into dough; using a paddle attachment or your hands.
  5. Refrigerate 30 minutes (I'll make the night before too, refrigerate and then let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before continuing)
  6. Roll into 1-inch balls and place one inch apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees until set but not brown. Remove from oven and let set for 1 minute.
  7. Roll in confectioner's sugar.
  8. Roll again if desired when cool.
  9. For a change, we will sometimes roll them in a combination of confectioner's sugar and pastel colored granulated sugar; it makes for a very winter wonderland sort of look with blue, pink and purple sugars.

Notes

Be sure to let them cool completely before storing them.

      They might be a bit crumbly when you eat them but I wouldn't consider them really crumbly; they always hold together well for me. Were they warm? They do hold together best after the baked cookie has cooled off.

      Zullen we eerst eens vaststellen dat, als het niet lukt om ontpolderen af te blazen, dit vooral komt door waterdichte afspraken met de Belgen? Ik vind het zeer te prijzen dat Rutte op zoek wil naar de ruimte om de misbaksels van PvdA en CDA te onschadelijk te maken. Dat is niet vals, maar een zeer gewaardeerde inspanningsverplichting na jarenlange overheersing door one issue clubjes. Het is inderdaad hoog tijd voor méér VVD in de Waterschap en Provincie!

Most of the ones I've had included walnuts - love the idea of pecans. These looks terrific! Bummer the closing is moved back a bit, but it'll be so worth it to make these in your new kitchen!

      You know what? I never have! After baking I put them in tins and they last a long time though. Still, I would imagine they would freeze fine; it's just flour, butter and nuts; nothing in there that would really change composition after freezing. I'm wondering though...were you thinking before or after baking. Not that I think it would matter either way but just curious.

    This is the third year I have made a version of this cookie. Not exactly sure what recipe I used in the past, but this year my husband thinks they are the best cookie I have ever made, even better than my chocolate chip cookies which I have been making for 35 years for him. I could not believe my ears. He also said I had to make more if taking any to a party on Friday. Better start baking tomorrow. I did not toast the pecans as we like the "raw" taste. Have printed and bookmarked this recipe for life. Thank you! I also make and use my own Bourbon Vanilla Extract.

      Jane...seriously made me get a bit teary because these cookies mean so much to me that it's nice to know it's not JUST because they are wrapped up in memories of my sweet Grandma. I had a similar one at a party the other night that were almost flavorless so I know there must be differences in all of the multitudes of recipes. Nothing and I mean NOTHING makes me happier than sharing something I love and having someone else love it too. Cheers! And Bourbon Vanilla Extract? Oh my...would you PLEASE share that with me?

      I think you could use any nut you want. I've never modified it but I imagine toasted walnuts would be equally good. I've found that toasting my walnuts a bit before baking with them is a new favorite; just brings out their flavor a bit more.

    If you want vanilla to taste good straight out of the jar, try vanilla bean paste :) http://www.savoryspiceshop.com/spices/vanilpaste.html At The Spice House in Chicago, they have a tester jar with another jar of small cinnamon sticks sitting next to it. I was hesitant, because I tried extract straight as a kid, too. Oh my, this stuff is good! I've been hooked ever since. Savory Spice carries it, but doesn't have a taster (one of the very few in the store w/o one!).

      Savory Spice is on my list this weekend; I get excited like a kid in anticipation of going there and you're right...very little there that you can't taste before purchasing. I always include some small packs of spices in the gift baskets I make, yes it's part of the gift but it's also wonderful how it scents the package so when it's opened...it's Christmas!

    I make these cookies every year also, using powdered sugar instead of regular. My mother always asks me if I made Grandma Ruth's recipe, which calls for 4 T of honey instead of the sugar. So, last year I did a bake-off of the recipe with powdered sugar and the one using honey. Honey won hands down! I recommend at least trying it!
